THUMBNAIL REQUEST for LITTLE BY LITTLE

[bakedpotato]

My first thumbnail request, for my first published game… I grew up so fast lol

---

Name of Game: Little by Little (I think. It’s still being workshopped lol, just be ready for me to change it-- keep the title on a separate layer or something hah)

Summary: Ya got shrunk after drinking a potion you made by accident. Now you have to make your way through a hamster maze to find the antidote at the other side.

Setting: Oof, that’s hard-- it’s a series of little mini-levels made out of props. There are quite a few levels, actually, so howzabout y’all do the final level? It’s the lab. Think big scientific stuff and potions and whatnot up on huge, high counters that you have to platform up. Colors of the level are white/light gray/stuff in a “sterile” type color palette for the counter and basic surroundings, and big, bright colors for the chemical spills, potions, and equipment.

Gims: One gim of your choice! He’ll be pretty small compared to everything else. My one preference for the gim is that he isn’t a Truck-o-Tron or something complicated-- try a basic gim, simple design, or a simple custom you made :]

Character actions: Looking up at the huge climb in front of him. As for perspective, I’m thinking a view of the gim’s back. You can also put him closer to the “screen,” in a corner, or something.

Random Example:

Wait, how’d that get there? Lemme try again.

What the… okay it’ll be right this time I swear

FINALLY. Just some really rough sketches of placement ideas, but y’all can do y’all.

Author of Game: Moi, aka bakedpotato >:D

Due Date: Sometime before December. I need to get this published before my level refreshes and I hafta start all over ;-;

I’ll be swapping out the thumbnails frequently, so it’s likely that all of you will get a chance at some point! The only “best thumbnail” competition factor really in this is just who’ll be displayed first.

---

Also, little reminder: thumbnails have to be in a 1280 x 720 (16:9) size ratio to fit, so make sure you do that

---

Thanks in advance, and ping me if you have any questions!

[CommanderGOAT]

Wait, why am I there ._. Anyways, since I posted here, I guess I’l do this one. FYI, don’t wait for me to finish up the thumbnail. I don’t really have the time or motivation to do thumbnails anymore, but it might be different for this one since you gave me a free pfp to fight Jhan with

[Jhan]

Ill do this just because goat mentioned me.
Expect it done by tmrw.

---

Lol, might add the gold fish somewhere hidden.

[Blackjack]

I could try this. I’m a bit rusty though.

@bakedpotato

Also, little reminder: thumbnails have to be in a 1280 x 720 (16:9) size ratio to fit, so make sure you do that

Thanks for adding that, I always forget the proportions

One gim who hasn’t slept for 15 days ^[3] or the final part of the obby

@bakedpotato

Oh, looks like I gave Goat tap-shoes

I didnt even get credit for the original pfp… you credit stealer >:(

(Yes i made commanderGOAT’s pfp)

1. i feel like i should add something, but idk what ↩︎

2. i made both game and thumbnail ↩︎

3. you can see he is tired ↩︎

[bakedpotato]

How did I summon literally ALL of the thumbnailists on this entire forum
Thanks for doing this y’all :]

---

@Ian_is_a_yay

50+ CARRER LEVELS which they are all your levels combined of season tickets (present and past)

WAIT WHAT
I COULD’VE BEEN SLAMMING OUT GAMES ALL THIS TIME
depression

Whelp, guess that means a due date extension for y’all, take your time guys

---

Ian, d’ya think you can add something more to the background? Maybe like a big ol’ laboratory or something (or just a different shade of grey/white). It looks really good right now, but the platforms blend into the color a bit ;p (Just wanna clarify again that the thumbnail is PERFECT and I don’t wanna pressure you into making big changes or anything)

---

Again, thanks to everyone doing this! Y’all are saving my tired little thumbnailist hands right now lol

---

@Jhan

So expect it by Friday now

Take as much time as you need! The due date changed to practically nothing (don’t give me a thumbnail at the end of the world y’all) so you can relax about time frames.

Oh, looks like I gave Goat tap-shoes, so I might as well give you some too hah

surprise :D

---

@Ian_is_a_yay

credit stealer >:(

IT HAS COME TO MY ATTENTION THAT I DIDN’T GIVE CREDIT, FULL CREDS TO ORIGINAL PFP MAKERS I JUST KLEKI’D TAP SHOES ONTO THEM LOL

So expect it by Friday now, some things came up.

[wal4o]

Is this a top-down game?

@bakedpotato

It’s a platformer. I can send screenies if you need.

[bakedpotato]

It’s a platformer. I can send screenies if you need.
